"I’d like to highly recommend MJ Masonry Corp, who recently installed new paver walkway and granite steps at our home. From start to finish, the experience was outstanding. The quality of the workmanship, attention to detail, and professionalism were exceptional. The new pavers and granite steps look beautiful, and it’s clear the entire team takes pride in their work. They were responsive, dependable, and genuinely committed to making sure everything was done right. It’s refreshing to work with a company that takes such pride in its craftsmanship and customer satisfaction. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend MJ Masonry Corp to anyone looking for quality masonry and hardscaping services. I’d gladly hire them again"

"Three Brothers Masonry came and did a repair on my chimney. The repair was needed because the chimney started to tilt and I look more someone to coke do it but they would charge me a lot for it. So I found Ben and his team who came and did it for me. He offered a pretty good price and the work is excellent, he was also respectful and walked me through the process of the repair. I would highly recommend them."

"Project: 2 patios using pavers. Received quotes from multiple contractors about the project, Andre and his team were the most professional throughout the entire process. Few neighbors used other contractors to do their patio, but I can honestly say my turned out much better, also at the same cost. Will definitely use them again for my next project."

Masonry FAQs, answered by experts

Brick spalling—which refers to the crumbly, flaky, or pitted appearance that can develop over time—is caused by a few different conditions. These include:

  • Climates with constant freeze-thaw cycles

  • Use of non-breathable sealants

  • High-pressure water cleaning

  • Improper installation

While you can’t do anything about the weather, you can preserve your bricks by cleaning them with soapy water and a good old-fashioned scrubbing. Pressure washers may be satisfying to use, but they can eventually wear away the surface of your bricks. If you don’t have advanced-level DIY skills in masonry, you can hire a reputable masonry contractor in your area for your project.

A mason lays brick or stone together, sometimes with mortar in between the bricks and stones, and sometimes without mortar, also called a dry-stack or surface bonding. Examples of work masons do include:

  • Brick, stone, or cement block houses and buildings

  • Freestanding stone or brick walls

  • Chimneys with wood-burning fireplaces

  • Cement block basement or crawl space walls

Mortar and thinset both serve the same purpose—tile adhesion—but have different compositions and use-cases. Thinset is heatproof and presents a wide range of possibilities due to the added polymers. Mortar is typically used for bonding stones and brick. Thinset is rarely used outside, while mortar is rarely used inside.

Mortar, or masonry mortar, is mainly used in joints and as parging for stone, brick, or cement construction. Stucco is primarily a surface material used as wall coverings. For maintenance, masonry will need repointing or replacing as damage or land shifting occurs, whereas stucco will need patching or refinishing as it tends to crack over time along with other types of wear-and-tear.

Some older brick material is extremely hard, making it tough to create a hole. Rather than using a typical wood drill bit, always use a masonry drill bit when drilling into brick. For extremely hard brick, using a power drill with a hammer function may give you better results. The drill bit will heat up as it goes into the extremely hard brick, so you may need to stop after a few minutes and allow the bit to cool before starting to drill again.
